MTB Cassettes

The MTB cassette: sprockets to transmit the power

Have you received your new MTB wheels and you don't know yet which cassette to buy? The cassette is an important part of the transmission that can deteriorate more or less quickly (rounding of the teeth) depending on the conditions, such as the brake pads.
An MTB cassette consists of a set of sprockets and a free wheel body (which attaches to the hub of the rear wheel).
From an operational point of view, the cassette drives the rear wheel of your MTB thanks to the energy deployed on the pedal and transmitted by the chain.

A large number of existing MTB cassettes

The MTB cassette varies according to your practice.
You won't need the same number of teeth if you regularly do cross-country or all-mountain or if you do rather extreme practices like enduro or DH.
It's also necessary to know the number of speeds, because an MTB cassette begins at 6 speeds and can go up to 11 speeds.

What is a MTB Cassette?

A cassette is the cluster of sprockets situated on the rear hub. It is a very important part in your bike's drivetrain who will wear with time so it is important to keep it clean and lubricated.
A MTB cassette will in most cases have 8, 9, 10 or 11 sprockets. To know how many sprockets you need, check the amount of gears you have in your transmission.
A MTB cassette will vary in number of sprockets but also in size: the number of teeth may vary from one cassette to another.
For example, a cassette sized as 11-36t will have 11 teeth on the smallest sprocket and 36 teeth on the largest sprocket.
On a MTB, the cassette have a large range of sprockets sizes for climbing and tough terrain.
